Need rain...
Ok we got about a half inch of rain and it got soaked right up in the ground. River remains low and clear. Had a great morning but did use the y2k for an easy bite. Fun beautiful morning. Feeling very blessed, but could use more rain.

Still liw and clear
Got busy with youtube and gotta post more on blog. Check out our youtube channel, please like and subscribe. The Spring River is lower than i have ever seen it. No trouble floating in a raft and Jim Hinkle is stocking really nice trout. Problem is low and clear conditions makes it hard for the trout to survive.... Hopper droppers and nymphs are doing great.

To many leaves...
Sissy and I were out chasing squirrels early this morning. I spent an hour this morning picking ticks off my legs, dang sea ticks. The tick population is doing fantastic this year, be safe out there. I have had tick fever once this year so far, and thats some rough stuff. They make a pill for a dog that works great for keeping off the ticks... trust me it dont work on humans. Makes ya chase cars....

Hopper dropper is the hot setup this year! And yes they hit the hopper! This video shows how low river is getting. Been like that all year honestly. Need rain...
